BBC website, reporting on the fact that UK Supermarket executives deny the claim by Matt Hancock that supermarkets had been consulted and given assurances on the continued supply of food, and contingency for getting food to self-isolating peeps. Supermarket spokesman (not named) said:

"We are using processes and staffing levels we set up in case of a no-deal Brexit."

The executive added: "While I think people don't need to panic buy and should just shop normally, I'm not sure the government can guarantee all food supply in all instances."

There was no suggestion that there were food shortages, but people bringing forward some purchases was creating logistical challenges, he said.

So on the plus side, Brexshit has proved one bonus, not that it can brag about it, being unforeseen, unwanted and the only one........... so far.
